imagine if your 2"x 6" plate/bracket that bolts ontop of the wheel well..... is a 6 x 12 (ish) plate and the tube is welded to its bottom....
what welder are you using...?

Got it. That idea is reserved for the passenger wheel well...
I used a Miller Diversion 180...

I see....you gotta have balance, right?
There is already plenty of extra weight on the driver's side, maybe having a storage device on the passenger side might help balance things out...
I'm working on a jig for the passenger side, hopefully, I'll have something together after this weekend...
Thanks...
Mtbcoach, so are the rest of us going to be able to get one of those very nice tire holders??
That's the plan. I've got 40' of tubing, a sheet of 1/4" plate, a full tank of gas and I'm wearing dark glasses...
I'm trying to get all the small stuff in place before I take orders. I'm hoping to open a thread Monday to start a list...
Sounds good. Did I miss how much u were going to ask for this?
No, you didn't miss it. I'm still working out all the details but it will be "competitively priced"...
Thanks Jerry. Any thoughts of putting "gussets" pm on the tire mounting plate...a little extra re-enforcement

Yes, thought lots about making it stout, stable, secure, rattle-free and adjustable.
It is unnecessary IMHO, even with the tire/wheel hanging in air, it doesn't move. With it resting on the floor, stress on the mounting plate and leverage is greatly reduced...

t out of the mount.
You can see pics and vids from the trail run that had 2 of these installed (erymer and little_joe) in their rigs in the linked thread below.

The "good stuff" starts around post 200. I was unable to make the event but feel free to check out the thread so you can see the type of terrain they put the unit through.
I feel really good about it and wouldn't offer it unless I did...

Why would you want your spare in the cabin? I don't get it. There's not enough room in this itty bitty rig in the first place. I understand not having it in the stock location, but what is wrong with a bumper mount? Theft?
Weight (the further behind the axle it is the more leverage it has).
Protection from sun/elements.
Not having to hassle with swing outs every time you want in the back. (And if you're backed up against an obstacle/object, you can't get in the back.)
